Akinetopsia

by Brian Bigelow

“Akinetopsia” consists of some of playwright Brian Bigelow’s most recently completed plays and aspires, as all its predecessors do, to entertain first and foremost. Though its subject matter can, at times, tend toward the serious, a consistent buoyancy lifts it from the melodramatic into the comedic without ever transcending into farce. “Akinetopsia” is a collection of six short plays whose lighthearted perspective casts its gaze on a wide swath of experiences from mall-rats to inmates, from alcoholics to journalists, and family gatherings from France to the beaches of the American East Coast. From the author of “The King of Wooden Spoonists,” “The Capgras Delusion,” “Burn Before Reading,” “The Inhumane Treatment of Seafood,” and “The Passive Resisters Soccer Club.”
